Is Marcus> cus-face.el a starting point? cus-edit.el, cus-face.el. wid-edit.el (if you want to see how the user interface works). Widget has a man page, not terribly complete. fonts.el for the font model the rest of XEmacs uses (which the Customize programmers evidently don't like). Face manipulations require familiarity with specifiers, see Lispref on topic Specifiers. What I think should be tried is to migrate all custom functionality to specifiers, using specifier tags to identify Custom-specific specifications (such as the user's saved spec in custom.el, the most recent custom-set specification, etc). If this were done right, Custom specifications and set-face-*-style specifications could coexist. I think specifier tags are also a natural way to identify "themes" of related faces. This would allow you to specify themes for particular specifier-locales, such as particular windows or buffers, in a natural way. (However the UI still needs to be written.) But the current code goes about this in a very different way. The aproach chosen in the half-done theme implementation we have does have the advantage of (probably) being portable to GNU Emacs with little effort. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
